Productivity and wage effects of an exogenous improvement in transport infrastructure: Accessibility and the Great Belt Bridge
In this paper, we study the productivity and wage effects of a large and very localized discrete shock in the quality of transport infrastructure, viz. the opening of the Great Belt Bridge connecting the Copenhagen area with the neighboring island Funen and the mainland of Denmark. We focus on two effects: (i) an accessibility externality, captured via changes in an accessibility indicator at the municipal level; (ii) better matching of workers t…

Hiving off the non-essential: Analysing which public organizations outsource administrative overhead
This study contributes to our understanding of the characteristics of public organizations that are more likely to outsource administrative overhead. Despite the climate of ongoing crisis that urges public organizations to focus their resources on core tasks, little is known about the characteristics of organizations that hive off the delivery of non-essential administrative overhead processes to the private sector. This study runs a panel data T…

Commuting, Transport Tax Reform and the Labour Market: Employer-paid Parking and the Relative Efficiency of Revenue Recycling Instruments
In this paper, the welfare effects of a budget-neutral increase in taxes on car commuters are studied in a model that takes into account the presence of employer-paid parking at the workplace. It is found that the presence of employer-paid parking substantially increases the welfare effect of such a tax reform, independent of the use of the revenues: congestion taxes not only correct congestion externalities, they also reduce the inefficiency cau…

Explaining differences in productive efficiency: An application to Belgian municipalities
The Economic Environment and Public Enterprise Behaviour: Belgian Railroads, 1950-86
The purpose of this paper is to estimate the impact of variations in the economic environment on allocatively inefficient behavior by public enterprises, and to measure the implications of both allocative and technical inefficiency for the firm's costs and factor use. Empirical results for the Belgian railroad company suggest the importance of unemployment and the pressure experienced by managers to reduce the deficit as explanatory variables of …
